Pakistani Muslim teenager whose brother tried to hack her to death with an axe in an attempted ‘honor’ killing, miraculously survives, but has a bleak future

At a women’s shelter in Kabul, Afghanistan, is Gul Meena, a 17-year-old girl from Pakistan who shouldn’t be alive. This Pakistani girl’s life of misery and suffering began at the tender age of 12, when instead of going to school she was married to a man old enough to be her grandfather. She says: “My family married me off when I was 12. My husband was 60. Every day he would beat me. I would cry and beg him stop. But he just kept on beating me.”

CNN When Gul told her family what was happening, they responded in a way that shocked her. “My family would hit me when I complained. They told me you belong in your husband’s house — that is your life.”

After five years of abuse, Gul Meena met a young Afghan man and finally gathered the courage to leave her husband in Pakistan. In November 2012 she packed up some belongings and they made their way across the border into Afghanistan to the city of Jalalabad.

Days later her older brother tracked them down. Armed with an ax, he hacked to death Gul Meena’s friend, and then struck his own sister 15 times — cutting open her face, head and parts of her body. Assuming she was dead, her brother escaped back to Pakistan. Authorities are yet to catch him, but his family denies that he tried to kill Gul.

Hearing the commotion, a passer-by discovered Gul Meena lying in a pool of blood in her bed, and rushed her to the Emergency Department of Nangarhar Regional Medical Centre. With part of her brain hanging out of her skull, neurosurgeon Zamiruddin Khalid held out little hope that the girl on his operating table would survive.

She did, but Gul’s troubles were far from over. While she’d received life-saving treatment from the doctors and staff at the hospital, she had no one to care for her on the outside. Gul had been disowned by her family and despite the government and authorities knowing that she was alive and receiving care at the hospital, they wanted nothing to do with her due to the stigma and circumstances surrounding her attack.

Gul Meena is one of thousands of Muslim women living in shelters across Afghanistan — many of them victims of attempted honor killings. Tragically this practice still exists in a number of Islamic cultures.

Shit the bed Fred. What kind of a cockroach mentality do these kind of people have to do something like this? I hope all involved in this get what is coming to them. 72 sows at death maybe?? These people suck.

Quran 18:65 “They found a slave of Ours (Allah and the gang) whom We had granted mercy from Us and whom We had also given knowledge direct from Us.”

…18:74 “So they went on until they met a youngster whom he killed. Musa said, ´Have you killed a boy who has done no wrong, without it being in retaliation for someone else? This is truly an appalling thing that you have done!”

…18:80-81 “As for the boy, his parents were believers and we feared that he would darken their days with excessive insolence and disbelief. We wanted their Lord to give them in exchange a purer son than him, one more compassionate”

Watching this video made me want to get on a plane and go get her and bring her home and give her all the love a child deserves. How horrible. Unwanted by your family. Rejected when you are harmed by another by your family. And then finally, brutally axed and nearly killed by your own family member..for nothing. Left to die alone and taken in by strangers. Thank God someone is helping her.

I cry sometimes, wishing I could take ever woman and child in the world and just take them in and take care of them. I know this is extremely impossible..but it’s a wish. I wish every woman, boy, child, and baby on this planet who is abused, neglected, tormented were with me where I could give every single one of them them compassion and love.

Thank you for what you do..for exposing to the world what these people do. It is a shame, but you and I both know there are still many people out there who are deluded, believing Islam is a religion of peace. HA! God bless you.

There is no honor in islam only murder, chaos and atrocities. The muslim, islamic culture of child brides and so on never wants to integrate into America. If it will not immigrate then we must not let them in because multi-culturalism never works anywhere. Imagine selling your chldren as sexual brides to old perverts as being normative. Never.Imagine honor murders of your daughters and sisters. Only in islam. What an evil cult this islam is.

Honor killing of family members is permitted in sacred Sharia law because there’s no punishment for the killer of an apostate. There is no punishment if parents or grandparents give the order. This young man was sent under parental authority by the family to do the dirty work.

Women should never become involved with a Moslem. We should teach all young girls about the murder provisions in Sharia. The Islamic sharia-murderers feel no guilt, because Islam permits honor killing.

This saddens me to my very core; and then I am angry as hell. As a woman, I cannot even imagine the horror she has been through. These things wake me up in the middle of the night and make me break out in a sweat. If we allow Islam to get a foothold in this country; we will endure them same terrors. There IS a God and I think that pretty soon he is going to come down hard on the evil in this world.
These bastards who do this to women don’t deserve to live, what they do deserve is to live in the hell through which they have put their women.

And the same goes for any man in these United States who think it’s all right to abuse women and children the way these asshats do.

This is another example of why victimized American women need to take advantage of Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to get case history established before the Muslims import this brutality into the US.

If I remember correctly the RAINN hotline is experiencing about a 40% increase in hotline calls. In addition to federal grant money they need all the tax-deductible charitable contributions they can get. They are a most worthy charity!

Every girl and woman should program the hotline number into their cell phones.

Something like this happened to an upstairs neighbour of mine. He fled Yemen to be rid of it (He is gay) , he renounced islam. His brother came from Yemen and cut him up with a butcher knife and thought he had killed him. My neighbour had only enough left in him to crawl out to the balcony. A neighbour was out on his balcony next to his and saw him crawling and bloody and called police. The brother told the police that he had to do it. No gays in his family and no apostates. The brother of course was locked up and luckily my neighbour also survived though scarred badly.

I do not know how anyone can see these stories over and over and actually believe the taqyyia that this is not a part of islam. It is very much a part of this demented death obsessed cult. It has no place in modern times.
